Photo of the Week – 7.20.09
Our photo of the week, by photographer of the month Thomas Mangelsen (a member of the iLCP) is of the sand dunes in the Namib Desert, Namibia, Africa. The Namib has been arid or semi-arid for at least 55 million yeras, making it the second oldest desert in the world (after the Atacama Desert in Chile). The Namib recieves less than 10 mm (0.4 inches) or rain per year! The Namib is home to some of the tallest sand dunes in the world — some are over 300 meters high!
Our July feature of Thomas Mangelsen kicks off the next 5 months of blogs featuring the premier photographers who will present at the WILD9 plenary. Along with many other outcomes for wilderness conservation world-wide, WILD9 promises to be the largest conservation photography event ever!
